Are dish detergents safe for our health? What about favorite
Fairy liquid?

The PH of the skin of adults is on the acidic side as
a means to protect against bacterial infections since bacteria find it hard to
grow in an acidic environment. It has a PH of 5 - 6, neutral is 7.

Most dish detergents
are on the neutral side of PH (7).

Fairy liquid from Procter & Gamble (JAR in Czech
republic) is a well known brand of washing up liquid in Europe. The Fairy liquid PH
is 9. Prolonged exposure of the skin to it can cause
irritation due to the PH difference.

Toxicological information

·Estimated acute
oral toxicity: LD50 (rats) > 2g/kg

(The value of LD50 for a
substance is the dose required to kill half the members of a tested
population after a specified test duration. LD50 figures are frequently used as
a general indicator of a substance's acute
toxicity.
A lower LD50 is indicative of increased toxicity.)

No known adverse
effects on the functioning of water treatment plants under normal use
conditions as recommended. Harmful to aquaticorganisms, may cause long-term
adverse effects in the aquatic environment.

If you will decide for
Fairy liquid when washing dishes, you should be wearing rubber
gloves. Wearing rubber gloves will protect your hands from germs.
Also, it will prevent your skin from drying out due to the constant scrubbing
and exposure to water.As you finish with scrubbing each dish, you should rinse it offunder the tap, or in the second sink with clean water.

If
you care about your family health and nature, choose simply something else.
